Omega Loaded Granola

This yummy mix of goodness is loaded with omega-rich ingredients! I also like to call this my “low-‘nola” because it’s low on the sugar side. Instead of using regular oil or butter, I’ve chosen to use coconut oil instead. After a few trials, I’ve come to realize the coconut oil actually makes it more crunchy and delicious! I love add this granola to a bowl of kefir, greek yogurt, fruit or ice cream! I even add it to trail mix sometimes.

Add in the Maple Syrup, Oil and Vanilla – stir until everything is coated evenly.

About half way through cooking, give the granola a little stir and move it around a bit.
Allow the granola to cool completely once done before moving it to an air-tight container.
